This makes the audience have high expectations for the sequel to Shanghai Beach as soon as it is broadcast. However, because the classic image of Shanghai Beach is too profound, it is difficult for the sequel to reach the same level, which leads to a decline in audience satisfaction.
2. Plot design: Although the sequel to "Shanghai Beach" may not meet the audience's expectations in plot, it may be because the plot setting is not enough to arouse the audience's strong interest, or it may not be compared with the original in story development and plot setting, which may affect the audience's enthusiasm for watching.
3. Actor's performance: The actor's performance has a great influence on the work. If the performances of the main actors fail to meet the audience's expectations, or the characters' personality and emotions are not well conveyed when shaping the characters, it may affect the audience's acceptance of the sequel.
4. Market demand: The success of TV series is also closely related to market demand. The sequel to "Shanghai Beach" may not do enough in market positioning, publicity and promotion, which leads to the audience's lack of understanding and interest in the play.
5. Time background: The sequel to Shanghai Beach was shot in a specific historical background, and when the audience's aesthetics, needs and values change with the times, the sequel may not be able to meet their needs, which is one reason why the sequel to Shanghai Beach failed to catch fire.
